Nubia is it's own company. ZTE has reduced it's stakehold in it. They still own Nubia stock (49.9%), but Nubia is 100% in control of products, product development, marking, etc.....

Since ZTE owns less than 50%, technically they are no longer considered a subsidiary.

Anyways, this device wasn't designed with the USA market in mind. It's very interesting they would try to release it here without the full band support people would want. And the unlocked device market is tough to crack here, so I don't really expect it to do very well as other OEMs have tried. You "have to" get into a carrier store here. As One Plus has gotten.

I don't particularly like the idea that you need to be in bed with the carriers to be successful in the USA, but that's just the way it is for now.

@sshasan So what you are saying is, you know as much or as less knowledge than the rest of us here on the USA ZTE Forum. Meaning you have 0 inside track. Bummer. I thought I could squeeze some inside info about some future Flagship Device. LOL. 😀 Speaking of ZTE Flagship Devices in General. The Axon 10 has an official Launch date in China. Sometime in Mid May (I forgot the exact Date) Good for them. 5G tests on 5G network on the Axon 10 in China look impressive BTW.
